Pharmacovigilance inspection procedures: veterinary

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has developed procedures for the coordination, conduct and reporting of pharmacovigilance inspections carried out in the context of the centralised procedure.

These inspections are adopted by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP). They may be routine, or triggered by issues arising during the assessment of pharmacovigilance data or by other information such as previous inspection experience.
